 Incensed by the encroachment of yuppies on their
South Florida retirement community, four retired (you can retire?)
mobsters flex their remaining muscle in one last caper. However,
things don't turn out quite as they planned.
There's no place like home-even when it's the ratty Raj Mahal
senior citizen residence hotel in yuppie-haven South Beach, Miami.
While sexy models cavort on the white sands posing for haute
couture fashion magazine covers, four fossilized former wiseguys:
Bobby Bartellemeo (Richard Dreyfuss), Joey "Bats" Pistella
(Burt Reynolds), Mike " The Brick" Donatelli (Dan Hedaya),
and Tony "Mouth" Donato, face eviction from the semi-squalor
of the Raj on this otherwise posh strip of shore. Management's
plans for renovations of the building, to force higher rents
and attract a classier clientele, are squeezing the geezers out.
Although in the sunset of their years, it's not exactly sundown,
and they hatch a seemingly simple scheme to save their retirement
residence. Comedy and chaos collide when the elderly GoodFellas'
caper goes awry and inadvertently entangles a paranoid drug lord
who is convinced he's about to be rubbed out by a mysterious
gangland rival.
